Chapter 1 – Introduction

OverviewAJA’s ROI family of scalers/scan converters allows exceptionally high quality conversion of computer and video signals in a small Mini-Converter form factor. The ROI models offer Region of Interest (ROI) support allowing DVI, HDMI, Display Port, and SDI input signals to be scaled and converted to a SDI output. The ROI-SDI model also provides a scaled HDMI output. With incredible image scaling, extensive aspect ratio and frame rate conversion, ROI fulfills the need to scale computer and video to a desired resolution, all in realtime, in a very portable and easy to use package.

The four models of ROI Mini-Converters available are: • ROI-DVI • ROI-DP • ROI-HDMI • ROI-SDI

Video ProcessingIn default mode, the ROI-DVI, ROI-DP, and ROI-HDMI models automatically detect the input signal format and convert it to the SDI (and HDMI, for the ROI-SDI) output video format. Their respective DVI, DP and HDMI outputs pass the signal through without any processing, maintaining the incoming signal aspect ratio.

For the ROI-SDI, the incoming signal is passed to the SDI Loop Through Output, without any processing, maintaining the incoming signal aspect ratio. The processed signal goes to both the HDMI output and the SDI output.

If the SDI output raster is larger than the input raster, unused area is filled with matte color.

To realize the full power of ROI, however, you will need to use the supplied USB cable and AJA’s Mini-Config application to select the desired output format and perform a variety of region-of-interest and output display scaling operations. Once configured, the ROI unit can run standalone.

Audio Handling

ROI-DVI, ROI-DP, ROI-HDMIAnalog audio from the host can be input via a standard 3.5mm audio cable and mapped to the embedded SDI output stream. Alternatively, if the input is HDMI or DP, its embedded audio can be the audio input. The ROI-DVI model can receive both DVI and HDMI protocol input, and accepts audio if it is embedded in an HDMI signal. However, the DVI protocol does not carry audio, so if the ROI-DVI is receiving DVI input, only analog audio can be embedded to the output.

ROI-SDIDigital audio embedded in the SDI input is carried through to both the SDI output and the HDMI output. Analog audio can be output through the two analog RCA Jacks (2 channels). Digital audio can be embedded through the SDI output as 24-bit, 8 channel, and/or through the HDMI output as 24-bit, 2 channel or 8 channel.


Control InterfaceFor control, the ROI is connected to a computer via USB. The ROI has no local, physical user-interface (no dipswitch settings). The ROI can operate stand-alone without a USB connection to the host. In this mode, the ROI automatically adapts to the input signal, and operates according to defaults or as last configured via the AJA Mini-Config application (see ”Chapter 2 – Operation” on page 17).

HDCP ProtectionThe ROI honors HDCP, and will not allow an HDCP link. If the input content is HDCP protected, no source video will be displayed on the ROI’s DVI pass-through connector, or on the ROI’s SDI output.

Pixel rates are limited to a 165MHz maximum rate.

Pixel Clock Rate

ROI-DVI, ROI-DP, ROI-HDMIThe source video pixel clock is a combination of the video resolution and its vertical rate. Some sources can generate pixel clock rates that exceed the capabilities of the ROI-DVI, ROI-DP, and ROI-HDMI converters. It may not be obvious what the resulting pixel clock will be for a particular resolution or vertical rate.

For example, when a downstream sink device is connected to the ROI output monitor connector, the source and sink could potentially negotiate a display format (using EDID) that is beyond the capability of ROI’s video processing circuitry.

When this error occurs, an “Exceeds max rate” red error message will be displayed on the Mini-Config user interface, and the ROI will generate a full screen red matte on the SDI output. A downstream DVI/DP/HDMI/SDI monitor will still display the incoming video.

Possible solutions include:• Disconnect the downstream device (for example, a computer monitor) from

the ROI. Once disconnected, ROI will negotiate directly with the source to generate a video resolution that is within the ROI’s processing capability.

• Reconfigure the source signal to a resolution that ROI supports. • On ROI-DP models, from the Genlock Screen, select ROI-DP from the EDID

Flow Through control so that the upstream source sees only the EDID of the ROI (see ”EDID Flow Through” on page 34).

ROI Processing CapabilitiesThe ROI models utilize a powerful scaling processor, however, some specific combinations of input and output ROI selections, de-interlacing, and 180° rotations or flips can exceed the processing capacity of the ROI Mini-Converters.

In these cases, a “Processing Limit Exceeded” red error message is displayed on the Mini-Config user interface, and the ROI will automatically turn off certain features in order to process the picture. These features that have been turned off will be reported and will be in red. For an example, see “Figure 19. Processing Limit Exceeded” on page 29.

Possible solutions include: • Reduce the size of the Region of Interest selections; input ROI, output ROI, or a

combination of both. • Turn off 180 degree rotation and/or H and V flips, or frame delay. • Use a progressive rather than interlace input signal.

Mini-Config OverviewUsing AJA’s Mini-Config application, you can set up and control region-of-interest and output display scaling operations, route audio, and configure genlock. Mini-Config is also used to update the Mini-Converter firmware.

Typical ROI ConfigurationsThis section covers six example configurations of ROI, including ROI-DVI, ROI-HDMI, and ROI-SDI.

Two typical configurations for using the ROI for scaling of desktop region-of-interest computer-sourced video are illustrated in the following two figures. In these configurations, the pass-through monitor is used to view the subject desktop video and to use the Mini-Config application’s Screen Picker function to select the desired region for output to SDI (see “Screen Picker Operation” on page 24).

In a parallel configuration as Figure 9, Figure 10 below shows a basic configuration of the ROI-SDI being used to send a 3G-SDI digital video signal from a 3G-SDI source to allow region of interest video input to a video switcher. As in Figure 9, since the source video is not coming from the computer that is running Mini-Config, the Screen Picker feature cannot be used in this configuration. However, you can use the other methods for adjusting the region of interest selection described in the section for the “Input Screen” on page 22 with either the processed HDMI output signal or the processed 3G-SDI output signal feeding a monitor.

InstallationTypically, ROI installation consists of the following steps:

1. Ensure the ROI is disconnected from power.

2. Connect your computer or video console monitor output to the ROI’s HDMI/DVI/DP input connector. For ROI-SDI, connect your SDI source signal to the ROI’s SDI input connector.

3. Connect the ROI’s HDMI/DVI/DP output connector to a second monitor (optional). For ROI-SDI, this would be the SDI Loop output connector.

4. Connect a video monitor to the converter SDI output BNC. The ROI-SDI offers both an HDMI output and an SDI output for the processed signal.

5. If using ROI-HDMI/DVI/DP, connect two-channel analog audio input to analog audio connector (optional).

6. If using ROI-SDI, connect two analog RCA jacks (optional).

7. Apply power to the converter (AJA power supply included).

8. The converter will now run using the default factory settings. If you wish to alter the factory settings, you’ll need to:• Install the AJA Mini-Config software onto your computer.• Attach the converter via USB cable (included). • Make your changes using Mini-Config setup screens.


Chapter 2 – OperationIMPORTANT: Once the ROI has been configured with Mini-Config, those settings will continue to be used in stand-alone

mode (disconnected from USB) as long as the input format remains the same. If a different input format is connected, the ROI will revert to Auto mode. However, if the original input format is re-connected, the ROI will exit Auto mode and restore

the previously configured settings for that format.

USB Control and Setup—Using AJA Mini-ConfigYour AJA Mini-Converter can be used right out of the box for some applications since it is designed to recognize inputs and perform standard actions automatically by default. However, to use its full capability, you must use AJA’s Mini-Config software application for PCs and Macs. This same application can be used to update to new Mini-Converter software released by AJA.

Acquiring Mini-ConfigAJA’s Mini-Config application is available for download from the AJA website.

To download the latest Mini-Config package, which includes the Mini-Config application, Mini-Converter firmware, and documentation, go to:

https://www.aja.com/en/products/mini-converters/mini-config-software

Select either the Windows or Mac icon to download the desired version.

Mini-Converter DocumentationIncluded with the Mini-Config package is a complete set of documentation for all Mini-Converters supported by Mini-Config. A .PDF of the Installation and Operation Guide for the currently connected Mini-Converter can be accessed from the Mini-Config UI via the Help/Manual drop-down menu.

Documentation for all AJA Mini-Converters that use Mini-Config can also be accessed directly in the Mini-Config download package Documentation folder, and via the Documentation icon available on the Mac installer.

Documentation (and firmware) included with the Mini-Config application are the versions available at the time of distribution. However, Mini-Converter software, firmware and documentation are updated regularly, so newer versions may exist.

To download the latest documentation for an individual Mini-Converter, go to:

https://www.aja.com/en/category/mini-converters

Mac StartupTo run Mini-Config on a Mac, open the Applications folder and locate the AJA Mini-Config application. Double-click the application to launch it.


Saving SetupsA File drop down menu on the Mini-Config application bar allows you to save the current state of the Mini-Converter to a preset file for later recall.

Using this feature you can set up the converter for different applications, storing each configuration (Save Preset As...) with a unique name for easy recall (Open Preset...).

A Revert to Factory Settings menu item similarly allows you to change the settings back to AJA’s factory defaults.

Operating Mini-ConfigThe Mini-Config application provides a graphic interface for viewing settings and updating software. It consists of an information area at the top that shows the available Mini-Converters attached to the computer via USB, with a graphical rendering of the selected Mini-Converter showing all the connectors and their current state.

Colored text next to the connectors indicates the signal type and what the Mini-Converter is doing:

• Blue text indicates the values automatically selected• Black text indicates values that you have manually selected• Red text indicates the Mini-Converter is not detecting a signal, or cannot

operate with the current user settings.

NOTE: Even if no output device is detected, the SDI connector text still shows the signal it is outputting.

NOTE: Configuration settings in red will change based on the attached output device as well as input signals. For improved accuracy and reliability, you should configure the Mini-Converter only when the target output device is attached and input signals are supplied at the inputs.

Screens are virtually the same on both PC and Mac, with subtle differences that reflect the general look of the platform environment.

Firmware version Serial Number

Tabbed screens

Firmware version

Selecting a Mini-Converter with the pulldown menu causes this application to connect to the selected converter. The graphic of Mini-Converter and text below it provides:

• Type of converter• Firmware version• Serial number of the unit.

A status field at the bottom of the screen shows if your application is connected and communicating with the Mini-Converter.

When configuring the Mini-Converter, select it from the top pulldown, view the current settings and change any values. Making a change communicates that new value to the Mini-Converter’s non-volatile memory.

Tabbed ScreensThe Tabs delineate control screens with groups of controls for each type of task to be performed.

The controls for the actual configuration parameters are specific to each Mini-Converter type. When you Click on any of the tab buttons, the pane below the tabs will change to match your tab selection. Any changes you make are immediately applied and will be saved, overwriting previous settings.

NOTE: In this manual Mini-Config screens for the ROI-HDMI model are shown. Other ROI models have similar screens, with a few exceptions that are noted.


Input Screen

Proxy Screen

Click on the Input tab to view and make changes to the converter’s input region-of-interest settings.

An input signal is required before the Input menu configuration controls are available. When no input signal is present, the ROI unit grays out the Input menu controls.

The Proxy Screen on the lower right shows the current region of interest setting in green with the selection pixel size at the bottom and the input pixel size at the top. Various controls are also available on the left.

NOTE: The adjustments made on the green proxy screens and Screen Picker are live and can be viewed on the SDI output.

NOTE: Portions of this screen are grayed out if no input signal is present.

ROI Selection

Using this pulldown menu you can choose a selection mode:

NOTE: Mini-Config provides a Tool-tip description for each ROI Selection mode. Hover your cursor over the mode name in the drop-down menu for a description of its function.

Auto - Selects the entire signal detected at the input to the ROI (default setting). Scales the input region-of-interest as large as possible to fit into the SDI output region while maintaining the incoming aspect ratio. Matte may result if the input’s aspect ratio does not match the SDI out aspect ratio.

NOTE: Auto selections in the Input screen and the Output screen are linked. Selecting Auto from one screen will also select Auto in the other screen.

Variable - Allows user-adjustable selection of all or a portion of the input signal. When you select Variable as the selection type, you can choose the region-of-interest selection in three ways with no constraints:• Use the X,Y coordinates and W,H (width, height) size fields. Within these

fields, you can enter values (if they are valid) or use your keyboard arrow keys to increment one pixel/line at a time for fine adjustment.


• If configuring a multiple monitor matrix, you can use the Monitor Matrix screen to select the ROI and, when applied, will fill the X, Y, W, and H fields with the correct values. See “Monitor Matrix Screen” on page 31.

• Drag the edges of the image representation (green proxy screen) at the right of the selection pane. See “Click and Drag Options” on page 24.

• Use the Screen Picker button (not applicable to ROI-SDI model) to produce a full-sized image with highlighted crop boundary box in the pass through monitor. See “Screen Picker Operation” on page 24.

NOTE: For Screen Picker operation, the resolution of the pass-through monitor Mini-Config is using must match the resolution of the input to the ROI.

Fixed Aspect - Opens a ROI Fixed Aspect drop-down menu allowing fixed aspect input region-of-interest selection. In this mode, the size of the selected region-of-interest can change but the aspect ratio is held constant:• 4:3 (SD aspect ratio)• 16:9 (HD aspect ratio)• 3:4 (useful for presentation on vertically oriented monitors)• 9:16 (useful for presentation on vertically oriented monitors)

Fixed Size - Opens a ROI Fixed Size drop-down menu allowing fixed size input region-of-interest selection. In this mode, the region-of-interest selection can change position on the input screen but the size cannot be changed. These settings allow you to easily select standard video sizes for region-of-interest.• DV• NTSC• PAL• 720HD• 1080HD

SDI Out - Forces the region-of-interest to have the same aspect ratio as the current SDI Out Format setting.

RGB Range Menu (not applicable to ROI-SDI model)

The RGB Range pulldown menu allows you to select either Full range (0-1023) or SMPTE range (typically 64-940) for RGB color input.

Full Screen Button

Click the Full Screen button to set the region-of-interest to the full input raster size.

Center Button

If you choose anything other than a full-sized image (Auto) in the ROI Select menu, you will have complete control of where the region of interest selection is placed. To quickly and precisely center the region-of-interest, click the Center button.

Auto Bypass Mode

The ROI Mini-Converters remember the format of the input signal when the unit is configured.

When Auto Bypass Mode is On (default value), if the format of the input signal changes after configuration, the ROI unit will automatically bypass all video processing (Region of Interest selection, rotation, flip, etc.). When the video input signal returns to the original format, the unit will automatically turn back on all video processing according to how it had been configured.


When Auto Bypass Mode is Off, if the format of the input signal changes after configuration, the ROI unit will apply (not bypass) automatic processing (Region of Interest selection, rotation, flip, etc.) to the new input signal format. A change in input signal raster size may force a change in the region of interest settings. In this mode the ROI will automatically adjust the region of interest as necessary.

Auto Bypass Mode settings function regardless of whether the ROI is connected to Mini-Config or is running stand-alone.

Click and Drag OptionsWhen using the drag method for region-of-interest placement or resizing, you can use the Option/ALT, Shift, and Arrow keys for precise adjustments.

Option/ALT key

For more control, hold down the Option/ALT key while dragging the image boundary. You will notice that the selection changes in a more gradual pixel-by-pixel manner regardless of your drag speed.

Shift key

You may change the image size while maintaining the current aspect ratio by holding down the Shift key as you drag.

Arrow Keys

You can use the keyboard arrows to increment size and placement of a variable region-of-interest selection one pixel at a time in X,Y,H,W fields and in the proxy and Screen Picker screens. (The up/down arrow keys can also be used to step through some menu selections.)

Screen Picker OperationWhen Variable region-of-interest selection is enabled, pressing the Screen Picker button activates Screen Picker mode. A full-sized image with highlighted crop boundary box is displayed in the pass through monitor (refer to “Typical ROI Configurations” on page 13). Adjust the region-of-interest boundaries by dragging the image sized to the desired locations, and then press the Enter or Return key to exit Screen Picker mode.

NOTE: For Screen Picker operation, the source video must be coming from the same PC that is running Mini-Config, and the resolution of the pass-through monitor Mini-Config is using must match the resolution of the input to the ROI.

NOTE: The Screen Picker feature is not supported with ROI-SDI.


Figure 15. Screen Picker Cropping Overlay


Output Screen

Click on the Output Tab to adjust the following parameters.

NOTE: Portions of this screen are grayed out if no input signal is present.

NOTE: Some sources can generate pixel clock rates that exceed the capabilities of the ROI. If the incoming video’s pixel clock rate is too high, the ROI converter will generate a full screen red matte on the SDI output to indicate this error condition. Mini-Config will also display an “Exceeds max rate” error message. A downstream HDMI/DP/DVI/SDI monitor will still display the incoming video. See “Pixel Clock Rate” and “ROI Processing Capabilities” on page 8 for potential solutions.

ROI Out Scaling

Use the ROI Out Scaling pulldown menu to select one of the following:

NOTE: Mini-Config provides a Tool-tip description for each ROI Out Scaling mode. Hover your cursor over the mode name in the drop-down menu for a description of its function.

Auto - Automatically scales region-of-interest to maximum size with fixed aspect ratio defined by input format (default setting).

NOTE: Auto selections in the Output screen and the Input screen are linked. Selecting Auto from one screen will also select Auto in the other screen.

Fixed Aspect - Matte - Scales region-of-interest to maximum size to fit output region while maintaining aspect ratio. Matting may occur if input aspect ratio does not match output aspect ratio.

Full Screen - Scales region-of-interest to maximum size to fit output geometry. This may change aspect ratio of the image. No matting will occur.

None – Crop/Matte - No scaling occurs to region-of-interest. It is always centered on the output, and the area displayed is selected using the placement controls in the Input menu.

Variable - Allows user to arbitrarily change position and scaling of region-of-interest as it is placed into the output region.


SDI Output Format

The pulldown menu offers a full range of SDI Video Formats for output. For the complete list, see “Output Formats” on page 40. The format selection is reported in the Mini-Config graphic depicting the SDI Output.

Matte Background

Click the Matte button to pull up the matte color panel that offers various modes of background color selection.

Figure 16. Matte Color Selection Panel

Center Button

After a screen region-of-interest has been defined, click the Center button to quickly center the image.

Edge Filtering Button

You can disable edge filtering with this control. This is useful if you are using four ROIs to drive a 4K monitor matrix. Disabling edge filtering can eliminate the vertical and horizontal lines that would occur in that situation. Default setting is On.

Flicker Filtering Button

You can enable flicker filtering with this control. This can be useful where vertical detail (horizontal lines) may strobe with the refresh rate of the display. Flicker filtering can help with interlaced outputs, and when a detailed image is scaled down into a smaller area. Default setting is Off.

NOTE: The following Rotation, Frame Delay, and Flip controls interact with each other. If the ROI’s video processing circuit is unable to perform the processing, the actual Off state of each control is reported in red. See “About the Rotation, Flip, and Frame Delay Controls” on page 28 for more information.


Rotation

Opens a drop down menu for selecting of a clockwise rotation setting (see Figure 18):

• 0° (no rotation, default setting)• 90°• 180°• 270°

Frame Delay

Turns Frame Delay On or Off. One frame of delay is automatically applied whenever Rotate or Flip is active. The current frame delay state (On or Off) is reported.

NOTE: Turning Frame Delay On can be useful if you are using two ROIs simultaneously, flipping or rotating only one of their outputs. Because a frame delay is always applied to the flipped or rotated output, turning on the other ROI’s Frame Delay restores their relative timing.

Horizontal Flip

Flips the output horizontally (left to right, and right to left, see Figure 17).

Vertical Flip

Flips the output vertically (top to bottom and bottom to top, see Figure 17).

About the Rotation, Flip, and Frame Delay ControlsRotation and Flip image processing requires one frame of video delay. Whenever a rotation or flip occurs a frame delay is automatically applied, and the Frame Delay On status is reported, even if the checkbox isn’t selected (see Figure 18).


Figure 18. Frame Delay Automatically On with Rotation

The Rotation, Flip, and Delay controls all report their current statuses. Some specific combinations of input and output selections and 180° rotations or flips involving 1920x 1080i input video can exceed the processing capacity of the ROI Mini-Converter. In these unusual cases, a Processing Limit Exceeded red error message is displayed on the UI, and the actual current settings for Rotation, Frame Delay, and Flip are reported in red (see Figure 19).

Figure 19. Processing Limit Exceeded


Possible workarounds for this error condition include: • Select an input source format that is not 1920x1080i. • Reduce the size of the input or output region of interest. • Deselect 180° rotation if on.

HDMI Screen (applicable only to ROI-SDI model)

Click on the HDMI Tab to view and make changes to the following ROI-SDI HDMI Output settings.

HDMI/DVI

Choose Auto, HDMI, or DVI. When DVI is selected, any audio signals present are not passed. Choosing “Auto” automatically selects the output mode based on the attached device’s capabilities.

RGB Range

Choose Auto, SMPTE or Full. Choosing “Auto” automatically selects the RGB output color range setting.

Bit Depth

Choose from Auto, 8-bit, or 10-bit. Choosing “Auto” automatically selects the bit depth based on the input video and the attached device’s capabilities.

Color Space

Selects the desired HDMI output video format. Choose from the following:• Auto - selects the video format based on the input video and the attached

device’s capabilities.• 4:2:2 YCbCr• 4:4:4 RGB• 4:4:4 YCbCr


Monitor Matrix Screen

The Monitor Matrix screen offers a calculator that lets you easily define Input Region of Interest dimensions suitable for a multiple monitor matrix display. Typically a monitor matrix is a horizontal and vertical stacking of monitors, with a physical bezel distance separating the edges of the displays from each other. Dedicating one ROI to feed each monitor, and sending the same input video to all the ROIs, makes it possible to display that video so it spans across all the monitors.

Monitor Matrix Representation

A representation of the monitor matrix is shown in the Proxy Screen on the lower right. Clicking selects the area of the monitor at that location in the matrix. When row and column values are entered, a graphical representation of a matrix will be displayed. A default monitor position will be shown as yellow. A new monitor position can be selected by moving the mouse cursor over the desired position and selecting it. The Input Region of Interest position (X,Y) and size (W,H) values will then be automatically calculated. When Apply is clicked, the monitor position rectangle will turn green. When a non-zero Bezel Width is entered, the bezel border around that area is colored red.

Rows

Select the number of rows in the monitor matrix. Select from 1 to 20.

Columns

Select the number of columns in the monitor matrix. Select from 1 to 20.

Bezel Width

Select the bezel width of the display. This width will be used in calculating the Input Region of Interest.

Note that adjoining displays could have a different bezel width and require a different value entered on the ROI driving that monitor.


X, Y, W, H

The currently calculated Input Region of Interest position (X,Y) and size (W,H) are displayed here. These values are grayed out and cannot be adjusted. Once the values are applied, they can be adjusted on the Input tab.

Apply

Click on the Apply button to transfer the current Input Region of Interest dimensions to the Input screen.

Genlock ScreenThe Genlock screens vary depending on the ROI model.

ROI-HDMI and ROI-DVI Genlock Screen

Genlock

The Genlock control offers the following options:• Auto – use Ref Input if present, then Input signal if valid, then free-run• Free-run – Lock to internal clock• Ref In – Lock to the Video Reference input• HDMI – Lock to the HDMI/DVI Input (if valid video rate)

NOTE: When HDMI is selected, ROI can lock to input formats that have a SMPTE raster and frame rate and are within 50 ppm of the SDI output format.

NOTE: The actual resultant Genlock status is reported to the right of the selection menu.


H-Delay and V-Delay

These controls let you adjust H and V delay from the sync input by dragging the slider or entering values in the windows on the right. Horizontal delay is entered in pixels, while Vertical delay is entered in lines.

NOTE: H and V delay adjustments are only available when the SDI Out Format is compatible with the current sync input reference.

ROI-SDI Genlock Screen

Genlock

The Genlock control offers the following options:• Auto – use Ref Input if present, then Input signal if valid, then free-run• Free-run – Lock to internal clock• Ref In – Lock to the Video Reference input• SDI – Lock to the SDI Input (if valid video rate)

NOTE: When SDI is selected, ROI can lock to input formats that have a SMPTE raster and frame rate and are within 50 ppm of the SDI output format.


H-Delay and V-Delay

These controls let you adjust H and V delay from the sync input by dragging the slider or entering values in the windows on the right. Horizontal delay is entered in pixels, while Vertical delay is entered in lines.



ROI-DP Genlock Screen

EDID Flow Through

The EDID Flow Through setting selects what EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is provided to the upstream source (i.e., a connected computer). EDID is used by the source to determine what resolution and format to output on the monitor connector. You can select the EDID originating from the ROI itself, or the EDID from a downstream device connected to the ROI output monitor connector.

• ROI-DP – The upstream source sees only the EDID of the ROI.• ROI/Monitor – The upstream source sees the downstream device’s EDID

if a device is connected to the output monitor connector (HDMI, DP, DVI), otherwise the source sees the EDID of the ROI.

This control is useful if, for example, a 4K monitor is connected to the ROI monitor output connector, in which case the pixel clock rate might be higher than the ROI can process, resulting in a red matte on the SDI output. Choosing the “ROI-DP” EDID Flow Through setting can solve that problem. This setting replaces the downstream device’s EDID with the ROI EDID. The source should then renegotiate a display format that is within the operating range of the ROI.

Genlock

The Genlock control offers the following options:• Free-run – Lock to internal clock• Ref In – Lock to the Video Reference input

Audio ScreenThe Audio screens vary depending on the ROI model.

ROI-HDMI and ROI-DVI Audio Screen

In default mode, the ROI passes up to eight channels of embedded audio from the HDMI or DVI input to the SDI output, and mutes embedded audio to the HDMI or DVI output.

NOTE: The ROI-DVI model can receive both DVI and HDMI protocol input, and accepts audio if it is embedded in an HDMI signal. However, the DVI protocol does not carry audio, so if the ROI-DVI is receiving DVI input, only analog audio can be embedded to the output.

Input Select

Use this control to select which input audio to pass to the SDI output.• HDMI - This selection passes the HDMI incoming audio to the SDI output (up

to 8 channels).• Analog- This selection passes only the Analog audio input for inclusion into

the SDI audio stream. In this case, you can use the Analog Out Map pulldown menu to select the specific channel pair you want to carry the signal.

• Analog + HDMI - This selection causes the Analog audio input to replace one pair of the HDMI audio channels on the SDI output. The analog audio is inserted on the channels defined by the Analog Out Map pulldown.

• None - No audio is output (mute) on the SDI output.


HDMI Conversion

The Convert Rate button enables ROI Series to convert incoming HDMI audio between 32 kHz to 96 kHz to 48 kHz (the SDI native audio standard). If you don’t want to convert, choose Pass Through.

Analog Out Map

This control selects which two SDI embedded audio channels receive the incoming L R analog audio when Embed into SDI is set to Analog or Analog + HDMI. Choose from Ch 1-2, Ch 3-4, Ch 5-6, or Ch 7-8.

ROI-DP Audio Screen

In default mode, the ROI passes up to eight channels of embedded audio from the DisplayPort input to the SDI output, and mutes embedded audio to the DisplayPort output.

Embed into SDI

Use this control to select which input audio is passed to the SDI output.• DP - This selection passes the DisplayPort incoming audio to the SDI output

(up to 8 channels).• Analog - This selection passes only the Analog audio input for inclusion into

the SDI audio stream. In this case, you can use the Analog Out Map pulldown menu to select the specific channel pair you want to carry the signal.
